Default Date Difference

Hello,

I have a forumla from the help that allows me to calculate the difference
between two dates without weekends which is =NETWORKDAYS(D22,E22) and works
great. However, I have two questions:

1. How do I get it to start from the next day instead of include the first
date? i.e. 12/6/2007 - 12/12/2007 should be 4 workdays. I don't want to
include 12/6/2007.

2. What if another user opens this spreadsheet and doesn't have the tool pak
installed. Will the date formula still work? I ask because I had to install
the tool pak on my computer.

Thanks!!!!!

To answer question 1. =NETWORKDAYS(D22,E22)-1
To answer question 2. NETWORKDAYS requires the Analysis Toolpak to be
installed. If it's not, the user will get a #NAME? error as Excel will
not recognize the function.

Hi Tyro, thank you for your reply.

Ok, I got number and works perfectly! For number two, how can I make number
work correctly without the toolpak? I hate to take a chase on sending this to
people and they can't obtain the information. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Well, if they are using Excel 2007, NETWORKDAYS is included without having
to install the Analysis Toolpak which is required only for earlier versions.
NETWORKDAYS also allows you to specify a range of holidays to exclude. I
don't know anyway to get what the function provides without having to write
VBA code to accomplish what the function does. The VBA function would have
to calculate the dates differences taking weekends and holidays into
account. Perhaps a workaround exists, but I don't know of it.

I think this non-ATP formula will do the same thing for #2...

=E22-D22-SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(D22),MONTH(D22),DAY(D22)+ROW(IN DIRECT("1:"&(E22-D22)))),2)5))

The same way this formula does...

=NETWORKDAYS(D22,E22)

which is the formula that the OP originally posted and said works great.
